I hope you're right Tom. It would be great to see some of the real rarities dusted off and auctioned in the near future.
I think many of these cards, however, reside in complete 14 CJ collections that will be broken down and sold only in rare circumstances (ex. Collector passing away and family sells). My guess is there are at least 10 complete sets out there. 4-5 of these are technically high grade in my opinion.
It has taken lots of time and dough for those that possess many of these high grade rarities to build their complete sets. For them, it's about the set, not capitalizing on a hot or cold market. Frankly, money is likely not an object to them.
I tend to doubt that many of these high grade rarities are in advanced and diverse collections. They were scooped up years ago and locked away with set collectors.
We will see some, but it will be very few and far between.
I hope I am proven wrong in the near future!
